46
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: not met anyone who likes you so at all. Okay,

47
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 1: let's leave to that. We'll go to Ryan here next.

48
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: So we'll go to Ryan. I'm gonna run down a

49
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: little a little uh bio of Ryan. Born in Memphis, Tennessee,

50
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: raised in Philly, is a long time suffering Philly sports fan. Okay,

51
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: we'll get to that. TV executive writer, political consultant. He's

52
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: got an eighteen month old boy, he's got another one

53
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: on the way, so he's in it. His mom and

54
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: dad were both FBI agents. He played soccer in college,

55
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: and he is self described as handsome, humble, and ironic

56
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: self describe I don't see where the humble comes in.

57
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: That's the irony. That's then, by the way, we have

58
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: a bone because on the way here, Brooks told me

59
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: that the worst fan base he ever faced while in

60
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: the NHL was the Philly fans. You asked me which

61
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: were the rudest ones? And I wear that as a

62
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: batch of honor. I mean, I mean, I can't call

63
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: somebody polite. When I'm walking into the Green I get

64
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 1: spit on by thirty people from up above in the walkway.

65
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: So that could have been Ryan, it could have been Um.

66
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: But can you give us? Can you give everybody listening

67
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: like something? You're super excited about to be on this podcast.

68
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: I'm super excited because I think what's really interesting to

69
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: me is that we all have our unique perspectives. We

70
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: all are at a different stage in our lives. You know,

71
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: you're married, kids, probably soon. I have one kid, a

72
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: second along on the way. Dmitri has twelve kids. I

73
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: think Gavin is perpetually scared of commitment whatsoever. So it's

74
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: a good thanks, Um, But that's exciting. We're happy to

75
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: have you. Kay. We'll lead to going teeing up Dmitri here.

76
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: He doesn't have twelve, but he has four kids. He's

77
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 1: a writer and a comedy consultant. Avid sports fan comes

78
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: from a big Greek family, owns a mandarin orange farm,

79
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 1: the most random stat in the world and it doesn't

80
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: love a good halo, and also is described as extremely handsome.

81
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 1: We have a very handsome panel. Well, yeah, well my

82
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: mom said that when I was young, so I figured

83
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: it's good for life. So I'm um, yeah, so I

84
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: have four kids, ten, eight, six and almost three. Um,

85
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 1: and I think you know it's it's funny. As Ryan

86
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: was saying, I think we all bring something different to

87
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: the table, which I'm excited about. I will mention that

88
00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 1: obviously Brooks, you're married. Ryan's married, uh to almost two kids.

89
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: Rick's married two kids. I have four kids. I'm married,

90
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 1: and Gavin walks in the room, he goes, so, wait,

91
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: everybody here's married, so I think we know his stance

92
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,679
Speaker 1: on marriage, so that's not really I just was like, wow,

93
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: so I'm the only not married person in the room.

94
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: You look at you that have a you know, a teammate,

95
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: somebody who you know it was in the same boat

Speaker 1: as me. Hey, you guys looked at each other like

97

00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: his face. Well, and I think the good news is

210
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 1: issues in how men think on this podcast. There's gonna

211
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: be a variety of them. Uh, Rick, why don't you

212
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: give us one? My friend, what is going on in

213
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: your life? Yeah? Well, you know, my son just turned

214
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: thirteen last week, So that was that was a blessing, interesting, exciting. Yeah,

215
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, as part of that obviously is

216
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: kind of when they start hitting puberty, and you know,

217
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: he is definitely starting to cross that line a little bit,

218
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: and you know, as as being a parent, and I

219
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: sort of backed off of it for a while. He

220
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: had his own cell phone. Um, you know, I used

221
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: to check his cell phone occasionally and I was like,

222
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: he was wasn't being very nice, you know to me.

223
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: So I was like, Okay, he's gonna go to bed

224
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: and I'll check a cell phone. So check a cell phone.

225
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: Start going through it, just making sure. The reason I'm

226
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: checking a cell phone making sure his communication to his

227
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 1: friends or girls and guys is proper and nice and whatnot.

228
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: And so in doing. So I go through and I

229
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: check out his web browser. So I pull up his

230
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,199
Speaker 1: web browser and like, you know what, I'm gonna actually

231
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 1: search this, I'm gonna look what he's watching looking at

232
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: and I pull it up and the videos sorry, dirt bikes. Well,

233
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: it used to be like, you know, basketball videos, all

234
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: of basketball videos, baseball videos, comebacks, game of the year,

235
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: those are those are the headlines back and when he

236
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: was ten, eleven, twelve. Well, now I pull it up

237
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: and it's where he needs to go to his baseball practice.

238
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: And then it's things that I don't necessarily well I

239
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: shouldn't say I can't agree with it, but I'm not

240
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: really appropriate for a thirteen year old? Give us the

241
00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: heavy what is it? Video? So it was like, not

242
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: quite the sports you were looking at. It was not

243
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 1: basketball videos, yeah, top ten, you know, highlights them. So

244
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: you were sad that it was on his phone, but

245
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 1: thrilled that you found it. I was thinking to myself,

246
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, I have not seen these. I was like, wow,

247
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: this is an amazing collection. He subscribes to the same

248
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: and I was like, what is that My logging is

249
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: that we could get a discount, Hey, you're on the

250
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: same iCloud account that breaks up. So the first two had,

251
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 1: you know, our Google searches for wearing easy to go

252
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: to baseball practice, which we clearly take him because he

253
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: can't drive, and that's real, that's not The next one

254
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 1: is hot blonde mill for me to suck cute. He

255
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: gets her tiny hole hammered. I don't know, so, you know,

256
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 1: as his father, I'm sort of given a couple of

257
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: fist pumps, you know. I'm like, yeah, this is killer,

258
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: kind of like your flow here, bro, you know. So

259
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: it sounds to me like you would have preferred he

260
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: dipped his toe in the water instead of just cannonballing

261
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:09,319
Speaker 1: into porn very much. Don't sound very like starter level

262
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:13,319
Speaker 1: or this is not the five playboy that I used

263
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 1: from at my friend's house. So so how do you

264
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: handle that? Do you have you talked to your boy

265
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: about that? We've talked already, yes, So what was the conversation.

266
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: The conversation delayed a couple of weeks, so it was like,

267
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: you know, I was trying to figure out what is that,

268
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: you know, because you had to watch everything because my

269
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: thought was you're not in trouble, like you're all gonna

270
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna find it no matter what, whether it's on

271
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: your phone, your friends, wherever, the home computer, my log

272
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: in was. When I approached him, we were My wife

273
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: and I both sat him down and he was kind

274
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: of being at the time, and we were like, look,

275
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: we need to talk, like you're using your phone for

276
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: certain things and here's what they are, you know, And

277
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: we didn't go back and tell them that. And we

278
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: don't have that much data on your plan. That's a

279
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: huge download right now on I would go instead of

280
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: eight videos, I would married down to five. Yet, can

281
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: I What was your wife's reaction to this? Oh my gosh,

282
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: you know, she was surprised. She was wondering what was

283
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: going Was she like, oh my gosh, I failed as

284
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: a mom, or this is your fault or he's no,

285
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: I don't. We didn't really look at each other that way.

286
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: Dmitri was more along the lines of like, how are

287
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: we going to have this conversation? You know, on you

288
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: as the father, because it's it's your son that you're

289
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: to be the one to have that conversation like birds

290
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: and the be style. Yeah, I sort of felt that way,

291
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: and we haven't had that conversation yet. Either and so

292
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: obviously that's next. But I'm trying to plant a fishing

293
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: trip around that, although from the necessary the titles of

294
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: these are way beyond Okay, here's a quick question. Have

295
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,560

296
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: or parents at all? I never had that conversation. Yeah,

297
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: so the conversation I had with my son will basically

298
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: set him down. And you know, it's not how did

299
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: you find this? You're being punished. It's more along the

300
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: lines of, like, what you're watching isn't necessarily age appropriate

301
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: for what what your age right now? You know, I mean,

302
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,200

303
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: or or G or whatever you want to call it.

304
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: But you know, it was more along the lines of, look,

305
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: you're not mentally ready there from what you found, Like

306
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: maybe he should have subscribed to Playboy, but he did

307
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: mention the word hammered. Do you think maybe he was

308
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: just trying to look up a construction site of some

309
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: kind of like that goes to home depot a lot.

310
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: Let me see what this is about. The interesting part

311
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: about that the name of his baseball team is called

312
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: head First Baseball, So maybe he was searching head first

313
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: and then everything else. He's thirteen, he's a boy. As

314
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: his lawyer, nice cover up, but that's not gonna want Yeah,

315
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: so yeah, it was. It was more about the long

316
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: along the lines of like, look, be careful what you're watching.

317
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: You know what you are watching. Obviously it's great for us,

318
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: but maybe not appropriate for that. There is there is

319
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: something that I that I read recently. It said boys

320
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: that age, kids that boys especially at that age, are

321
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: getting they target them with porn and they try and

322
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: get them hooked because it's the way to to really influence,

323
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: like to to bring in the money of the industry,

324
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: and hence the industry and what it's doing, yes exactly,

325
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: and what it's doing is it's ruining that because then

326
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: they are to some extent they're they're losing their never

327
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 1: learning the site of like romance or this is not

328
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 1: so when they start hooking up, they just think, oh my,

329
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: it's got to jump to this point and it's and

330
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 1: it's not obviously, I mean I have three daughters. It's

331
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 1: it's not the way to go about romance is not

332
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 1: the way to go about dating. And the set to

333
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: think that, oh my god, it's supposed to jump to

334
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: this otherwise it's a failure otherwise. So they they say

335
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: that it's it's causing a big problem with with kids.

336
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: Well that that makes total sense, complete sense. I mean

337
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: just really listen those titles kids, even American Pie. And

338
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: it hasn't seen American pie. Um does anybody else have

339
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: anything like that going on? Your kids are too young?

340
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: Your kids obviously too young? But what what about? No?

341
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 1: But that's horrifying. I mean it's a fear of mind.

342
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 1: You know. I have a two year old son and

343
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 1: another on the way, a boy, and so the thought

344
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: of how far will technology advance between now and when

345
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: he is of the age that he's going to be

346
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: looking at porn or I have a question, I mean

347
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: they have. I don't understand why the technology, the technology

348
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 1: certainly seems to be there for uh, fingerprint identity for

349
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: accessing the phone. You think that it would be a

350
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: necessary technology for kids having their own personal phones that

351
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 1: could access the Internet, that it would require a fingerprint,

352
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: and therefore it would automatically limit some of the I

353
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 1: think there is that technology. I mean, it would be identified.

354
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, It was my phone. He's saying.

355
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: He's saying, there is that there is that feature on

356
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: phones where if it's a family plan, the parent can

357
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 1: can put in locks of what the kids can see that.

358
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 1: But he's saying Ryan saying that Rick has just failed

359
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: to do that. I'm just saying, we all have our

360
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 1: identities in our in our our fingerprint, and therefore he's

361
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 1: probably already documented his fingerprint at some point. Why doesn't

362
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 1: it automatically limit his access to the Internet. Yeah, you

363
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 1: can't go in and you can you can limit all

364
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: the access automatically limiting his access because at the beginning

365
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: of it, I decided not to do it because I

366
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: want him to go watch Steph Curry's highlights, you know,

367
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 1: over the last three seasons or like he he was

368
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 1: watching things that weren't necessarily at that point yet. Right,

369
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 1: So it's like obviously glad we caught it, right or

370
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: whatever I mean again, like to be honest, also to me,

371
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 1: it's actually opened up a conversation with him about that, right,

372
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: you know. So it's not a force subject. It's not

373
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 1: a bird's in the bees sit down, It's not that

374
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,880
Speaker 1: it's I will say this in fairness to what you said,

375
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: This opened up the opportunity to um to speak to

376
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: your son about this, and I think not to sound appreachy,

377
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: but I think that's kind of what we're doing here,

378
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: is we're talking about this because this is a even

379
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 1: though we're having fun with it, I think this is

380
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,439
Speaker 1: obviously an issue that's happening. And I think just like

381
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: you spoke to your son about it and when you

382
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 1: found out about I think this is something that we

383
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: needed to talk about because I think people can realize

384
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: that you don't realize that it's happening. It's not like

385
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 1: they're gonna come home and be like, hey, I'm looking

386
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: up stuff I shouldn't be looking up. So I think

387
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: it's nice that we're talking about that because these are things. Listen,

388
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: like I said, four kids, it's like but first kid,

389
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: but I didn't know, Like you don't know what you're

390
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: doing when you become a parent. So I think it's

391
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 1: like you have to lean on others and you have

392
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: to talk to friends and realize these things happen. Because nowadays,

393
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 1: they got phones in their pockets and they're taking around

394
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: they can look up anything. So I think we need

395
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,120
Speaker 1: to have these discussions so that you know it can

396
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 1: be addressed like that because we're just as blind to

397
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 1: stuff like that. And good on you for not shaming

398
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 1: him either like that. What he wasn't in trouble. I

399
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: mean it might have been. He might have been duped

400
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: into it by buddies, but I mean, you don't know

401
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: the situation. Maybe you do, but like, good on you

402
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 1: for handling it in a calm, composed way. But let's

403
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: discuss this, this natural evolution in you as a human

404
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: as a young boy, um, and not coming down on

405
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 1: him with a hammer and um punishing him for doing

406
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: something like that. Um, I think it shows an your part.

407
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 1: Thanks Brooks. And you know the one thing I think

408
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 1: you you touched on before about having actually the conversation

409
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: with your parents about the birds and the bees. It's like,

410
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 1: so one short a story I want to share was

411
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: my dad in fifth grade taught the sex said class.

412
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 1: He was a local doctor where we grew up. So

413
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: what was I doing? I was sitting in the back

414
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: very black row with a baseball globe over my face,

415
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 1: you know, I mean it was for me. It was

416
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 1: a very embarrassing moment, you know, especially when the people

417
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 1: started asking questions it and so to me, you know,

418
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: I don't recall ever really having that conversation with my dad,

419
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: but and that's why something I actually want, you know,

420
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: having seen that, you know, and then having a more

421
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: open dialogue with my son and or probably daughter at

422
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,040
Speaker 1: some point, it's like, hey, this is what's going on,

423
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: and hopefully she's not watching that stuff. Good for you, man,

424
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 1: that's awesome. Okay, we gotta go to break. I'm Brooks like,

425
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: and I got my man. But we'll get good at

426
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:21,239
Speaker 1: that and get real good at that, the handoff. And

427
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,919
Speaker 1: this is how men think. So we're diving into a

428
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 1: bunch of topics for men for women is all about

429
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 1: how men think. And Ryan has something he wants to

430
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 1: talk about here. I do have something that happened to

431
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 1: me very recently which is relatively sensitive. But my wife

432
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: and I had to go through ivf UH, which is

433
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 1: in vitro fertilization. Listening that doesn't know what that is.

434
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 1: Can you explain what that is? Yeah, It's essentially that

435
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: we were unable to get pregnant naturally, so they take

436
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 1: my sperm, fertilize her egg, and then the eggs grow

437
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 1: and you see how many embryos you ultimately have after

438
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: five days and hopefully you have a lot and then

439
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 1: one gets implanted or two or however many, uh, and

440
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 1: hopefully you have a pregnancy. But um, we've gone through

441
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 1: two rounds of IVF. We have a son now through

442
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: the first round of IVF, and we just went through

443
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 1: a second round. But one of the parts of the

444
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:25,360
Speaker 1: process of IVF is that they need to analyze my sperms.

445
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: So you go into a fertility clinic and they bring

446
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: you into a room that they ask you to produce

447
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: your sample. So the biggest stress for me is I'm

448
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 1: brought into a small room that just so happens conveniently

449
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 1: for them to be five ft from the nurses station

450
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: and the reception area. Uh. So I am escorted by

451
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: the nurse into this room and again there's a lobby

452
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 1: of ten people sitting there, and they tell you, we

453
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 1: have material for you on this television. You just hit

454
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 1: the power by and it'll be preloaded. It's going to

455
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: be rolling for you. Uh, here's the cup. Do your

456
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: thing into the cup and then come out when you're

457
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: ready and will you'll be good to go. So they

458
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: turn on the TV for me and she walks out

459
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 1: of the room and in the first case, it was

460
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: a black and white porn that was from the seventies

461
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: with the guy endowed with a guy endowed such in

462
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 1: a way that I could not really imagine that that

463
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 1: was me in his position, So it was so small

464
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: exactly the TV was that the nurses of let exactly. So,

465
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: so you're in this environment and in my head, I'm saying, Okay,

466
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: what is the respectable amount of time right now that

467
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: I have to produce. If I come out in forty

468
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 1: five seconds and I say, here you go, They're gonna

469
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: look at me like this guy is freaky, like he

470
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: just did it in four or five seconds. But if

471
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,679
Speaker 1: I come out twenty minutes later, glistening with sweat and

472
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 1: like fatigued, it's like relaxing, Like I'm gonna be back

473
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 1: in about one o'clock too. If that's okay, exactly exactly

474
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 1: what did you do? So so I'll fast forward to

475
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: the next time I was in and this is now

476
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 1: the most pressure packed moment of my life, genuinely, which

477
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: is my wife is under full general anesthesia. We're going

478
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: in for the for the procedure, and I'm escorted into

479
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: the room and now my in laws because she's going

480
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: she's been put under or in the lobby with me,

481
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:44,400
Speaker 1: and again it's seven feet away and they say, Ryan,

482
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 1: you're up, and they escort me to the room and

483
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 1: my in laws walk watched me walk into. Should we

484
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 1: come in or you good on your own? You're like,

485
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 1: I'm exactly so, so I again, I'm like, okay, how

486
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 1: long am I going to take here? But my wife

487
00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: is fully under and if I don't produce, yeah, if

488
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: I don't produce, then like this is gonna be an

489
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: absolute nightmare. And said go get them, go, go bring

490
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 1: us a grandkids. So this was a separate fertility clinic,

491
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 1: and this one was a little bit more high tech,

492
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: and they had they popped on the screen and the

493
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: screen had sixteen categories on it that I could choose from,

494
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 1: and it was nineties, uh, babysitters and I'm big butt

495
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: Asian anime, so oh, I know, adult humor. And then

496
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 1: the one I ended up choosing was adult humor. I

497
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 1: chose award winning. I was curious, what's winning awards in

498
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 1: this space? You gotta know now. But but again, it

499
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: was like the most pressure packed situation I've probably ever

500
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,120
Speaker 1: been into in my life, was going to that room

501
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 1: with my in laws seven feet away, and how much

502
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: noise can I make? They put you on a chair

503
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 1: with this parts and papers, and it's like the most

504
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 1: sterile overhead lighting. So I turned the light off and

505
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: I turned my iPhone flashlight on to give some mood

506
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: lighting for myself. And I'm moving around. The parchment paper

507
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 1: is crankling. My in laws are listening, the nurse watching

508
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,199
Speaker 1: the clock, and it's it's a nightmare. All you hear

509
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 1: from the lobbies are in laws going, that's our son

510
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:23,120
Speaker 1: in law. And there. I came out with the cup,

511
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: gave it to the nurse and shook my father in

512
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: law's hands and that was that your hand first. By

513
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: the way, what when he just told you? What Ryan

514
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: just told you is exactly true. Because my wife and

515
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 1: I have also done IVF. So my wife has endometriosis,

516
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: which she's openly talked about. She's a big advocate for that.

517
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: I believe. Actually I think one and ten females have endometriosis. UM,

518
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 1: and so we before her birthday last year, we did

519
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 1: IVF as well. And I've been in that room. Um,

520
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:57,199
Speaker 1: we haven't done the same room as maybe I don't know,

521
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 1: I don't remember the black and white important but U

522
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 1: but um it is exactly how he describes and it

523
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: isn't awkward. But his his father in law is waiting

524
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:11,719
Speaker 1: outside your room too. Yeah, okay, giving people, did you

525
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: have the same thing in your head where you're saying,

526
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,439
Speaker 1: what is the respectable amount of tough minutes that I

527
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 1: can spend in this room that the nurses don't think

528
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 1: like I'm a freak, but that I honestly just think

529
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: I went and knocked it out, like I just I

530
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 1: don't think I thought too much about it. Um, it

531
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 1: is what it is. Grab the cup and put it

532
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 1: on the counter. But um, it is incredible though what

533
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: they can do. Like you, you have now two children

534
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: a second on the way from that procedure. So um,

535
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 1: for anybody out there that is considering it, it's a lot.

536
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: I will say that it's as you know, as husband,

537
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 1: you're just in full support mode of your wife. And

538
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: my wife went through a ton and you know he

539
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: was doing injections for months into her stomach every night

540
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: with a syringe and it was brutal. Credit for it.

541
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: But I will say I know a lot of people

542
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: have done that and and from everything I've heard, it's

543
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: very difficult, very taxing. I am. I have been very

544
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: fortunate and less than that all you know, my my

545
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 1: kids were just we just conceived. I mean if you

546
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 1: saw like Vegas vacation, you know, and they said, Rusty,

547
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 1: had you get all these cars? Because I don't know,

548
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 1: I put a dollar and I got a car. I

549
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: put a dollar and I gotta go. That's what I was,

550
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 1: like I was with kids, except not with dollar and

551
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: you know, and instead of the car and we got kids.

552
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: But so we're very lucky. But I know that it's

553
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: that it's um that it's a it's a very taxing

554
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 1: I think it's I think that's probably the pressure that

555
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: that was weighing on you, besides just being next to

556
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 1: the nurses station and what to choose and this it's like.

557
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: And by the way, hearing the fact that you have

558
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 1: and Julianne have gone through it too is interesting and

559
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: helpful because I think so many of my friends have

560
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: gone through this exact thing, and it's become people are

561
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 1: scared to admit that they don't really talk about it.

562
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: So the more that people are aware that it's a

563
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 1: very common thing now with I U I or I

564
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: V f I think like it makes us all feel yeah,

565
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 1: we're not abnormal for having gone through Why why do

566
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: you think that is like why why do you think

567
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: it's that that is sort of suppressed person. I think

568
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 1: it's like it's a it's a it's such a it's

569
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: such a private sort of it's such a it's between

570
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 1: you and your wife, it's or your your partner. Um,

571
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: it's very emotional. I mean, you're you're trying to bring

572
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: a life into this world. I mean for us, for

573
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 1: us it I mean you're as a husband, you're just

574
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 1: in full support. Motive was very difficult on my wife

575
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: as well. But looking at the reality of our lives.

576
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: My wife is a very driven businesswoman, has her career. Um.

577
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 1: She just turned thirty last year, and so we wanted

578
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: to She has endometriosis, which which could complicate pregnancy. Doesn't

579
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 1: mean it will, but it could, and so the smarter

580
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 1: thing for us to do is to let's freeze some

581
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 1: of her eggs and if we need this as a

582
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,959
Speaker 1: backup plan in two years or a year from now,

583
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: whenever we want to start having kids, and maybe we can't,

584
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 1: we have a backup plan. But I agree with you

585
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 1: I mean it has been hush hush, but it shouldn't be.

586
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: And I feel like there's almost kind of the stigma of,

587
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: you know, it's like that's not successful or you couldn't

588
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: get the job done, or that kind of a you know,

589
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: a bologny way of looking at it. And I feel

590
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 1: like that's kind of the society is putting us to

591
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 1: that pressure like, oh, you guys, could you gotta do it?

592
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 1: You have to do take an alternative way, which whether

593
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 1: there's something a complication or whatnot, Like I think that's wrong.

594
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 1: I think the inherent in being a man, it's the

595
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: ability to procreate. That's like that's kind of in our

596
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 1: d n A and and in every fiber of our being.

597
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: And so if you're told that your sperm are not

598
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: able to you don't need help in procreating, then it's

599
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: almost emasculating in a way. So it's tough. I think

600
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: it times for a guy to admit that that's something

601
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: that you're dealing with him. And I'll end with this,

602
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 1: which is we've we've dealt with And there was someone

603
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 1: that came up to us recently and asked, my wife,

604
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 1: have you gone through or can I ask you, like,

605
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 1: did you go through I v F? And she said, well,

606
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: it's a relatively in trusive question to ask without you

607
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: offering it up yourself. But she said, well if you

608
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 1: must know, like, yeah, actually I did. And the woman said, oh, okay,

609
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 1: because you know, we already have two kids, um, you know,

610
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 1: and we got pregnant naturally, we can get pregnant naturally,

611
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: super easily, but we have two boys and we really

612
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: want to have a girl, so we may go through

613
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 1: IVF to have a girl. And it was like, really,

614
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 1: that's that was It was a demoralizing and I couldn't

615
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: believe that she said that. And then my wife said, well,

616
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: you know, if you need a good fertility doctor, you know,

617
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: I'll give you our our fertility doctor's name. And she said,

618
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: oh no, no, no, no, thanks Hunt, but um, we're

619
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 1: already working with Dr James Andrews. He's the leading fertility

620
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 1: doctor in all of North America. So we were okay

621
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 1: with with ours, Like thanks though, and it was like,

622
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 1: it's nice to know that l a attitude also carries

623
00:32:54,240 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 1: over to fertility docs instead of yeah interesting, um, but

624
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 1: for anybody out there that is considering it, I think

625
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 1: it's a great option if you want to have a

626
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: plan down the road. Um, when I was in the office,

627
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: there was even there was even young ladies who didn't

628
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 1: have partners or whatever. But we're at a very healthy,

629
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 1: uh segment area of their life that wanted to save

630
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: eggs or later on. And even our doctor Um, who

631
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: was amazing for us, she said she wished she would

632
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: have done it when she was younger as well, So

633
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: it's an amazing procedure. So on how men think, We're

634
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: also going to dive into some products on the show.

635
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: We're going to test some stuff for you guys. And

636
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,959
Speaker 1: Amy and Danielle sent us all an email asking us

637
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 1: what we used for hygiene and specifically what we used

638
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: to shampoo, and I think they were stunned with the results.

639
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: And also how often you wash your hair and how

640
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 1: often we wash our hair And I really had to

641
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: think about this one. That's pretty deep. The last the

642
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 1: last time I washed my hair was two thousand and one.

643
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: Because I was right about when I fell out. Did

644
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: that happen fast? Like did it just start cuting? Was it?

645
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 1: Did you have like the like ring around And I

646
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 1: didn't have a actually started with like a little spot

647
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 1: up here and then it kind of thinned out, and

648
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: I was like, I was gonna be fine, and I

649
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 1: was wearing hats and stuff. And then one day just

650
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 1: kind of rapidly went and I fought the shave, the

651
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 1: shave of the head for a while, and finally I

652
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, this is just this isn't helping anybody.

653
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: But at least you got like the nice full beard,

654
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 1: you know why I didn't. For a little while, I

655
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 1: didn't have a beard. And then I really looked in

656
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: the mirror one then I was like, I look like

657
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 1: a cute tip. And I was like, but a cute

658
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,720
Speaker 1: tip with like a fatter body, you know. And so

659
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: so I started growing up here and I was like,

660
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 1: oh this helps balance out. Yeah, grewing? Did it growing nice?

661
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 1: And even did you have like bolt spots like I

662
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: got on my face spot right here that just won't

663
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 1: grow in? You See, I have the same thing that's unfortunate.

664
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 1: See this, Yeah, it's like in breeding or it's very

665
00:34:56,200 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 1: I don't know. So in front of in front, in

666
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 1: front of each of one of us right now, we're

667
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:05,839
Speaker 1: holding a new bar created by hay Bow dot com.

668
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 1: It's hey body, Body Body dot com. So Amy, what

669
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 1: is this? It's a bar that's body wash? So what

670
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: shocked me? When I asked for your information about how

671
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 1: often you shampooed. The answer was once a week, once

672
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 1: every other week. Ryan said once a week until his

673
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 1: wife made him do it twice because she thought it

674
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 1: was disgusting that he only did it once. So we

675
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:30,840
Speaker 1: have a bar for you guys to try. This is

676
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 1: all in one shampoo. Yeah, hold that up, rick shampoo,

677
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 1: face wash, body wash, all in one in a bar

678
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 1: because I thought, all y'all travel a lot, so you

679
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 1: can't you get this through airport securities easier to I

680
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,320
Speaker 1: don't think they should rename it a body just because

681
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:48,400
Speaker 1: I might be messing it up. I don't know. I

682
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 1: thought that was a clever name, and then I realized,

683
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, but maybe it is. Maybe it's b

684
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 1: O D E. Hey, it's hey. I've never used the bar.

685
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 1: How I do it? I just whatever my wife has

686
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 1: in the shower, and whenever I think to shampoo my hair,

687
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 1: I would say, it's probably I think. I responded, once

688
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 1: a week, I'd probably shampoo my hair. And off of

689
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 1: what you just said, it's crazy as this is, like

690
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,919
Speaker 1: I said, I lost my hair for some reason, whether

691
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 1: it's habit, I still use shampoo on my head, a

692
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 1: face soap, and then regular like body soap on my

693
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:25,479
Speaker 1: It makes zero sen on your head probably, I don't know.

694
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 1: Maybe about I'm gonna try this though, because I use

695
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:34,840
Speaker 1: one bar for the whole thing. I mean, yeah, we

696
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,399
Speaker 1: can take the mic on the show a little's just

697
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 1: sparkling a little bit. This is taking a turn. I'm

698
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 1: not saying no, I'm just saying it's taking a turn.

699
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 1: Do you condition? No? I don't the line there? Do you?

700
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 1: How about your your beard? Do you wash your your

701
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: beard with shampoo? No? I use my face soap. I

702
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 1: uh so, you guys count your intuitive products that you

703
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:02,439
Speaker 1: use like our routine. I have one thing, the only

704
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:05,280
Speaker 1: one thing that I have, like that's my own product

705
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: in our is Keel's Men's body wash. Has it smell

706
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 1: fantastic and it's like powerful, it's strong, Like when you

707
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 1: honestly you put this on, you feel like, yeah, this

708
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 1: is this a man's product. You feel smell smell? Do

709
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 1: do you do? You do? Are you like a natural

710
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 1: like a dealdorant or an anti perseporant person? I don't

711
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 1: do either. You do no deator whatsoever. I'll put the

712
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 1: odor on paving like once every three months, no way,

713
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 1: because like night, what night is that special? Occajun? I

714
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:37,280
Speaker 1: have no idea. That's a great question. Like randomly, hasn't

715
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 1: you know you're gonna be riding a subway in New

716
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 1: York You're like, oh, where did the It's just random, dude,

717
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, I see it. I'm like, oh,

718
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: I got the odor and I'll throw that on. How

719
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 1: does the professional athlete sweat that much and not use

720
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:51,240
Speaker 1: the odor? And I don't because honestly, it keeps serious.

721
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 1: So I think that's that sweating flushes your system. So

722
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,800
Speaker 1: people that sweat all the time like you are always.

723
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 1: I eat healthy, I exercise all day long. My system

724
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,359
Speaker 1: flushes itself daily, and I think that way you have

725
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: less body order. I think people that have bad body

726
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:11,319
Speaker 1: order are very inactive and eat unhealthy. That's what That's

727
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 1: what they say about any persons and sunscreen and whatnot,

728
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: but they say it clogs your pores. So to your thing, Kevin,

729
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 1: I don't use any purse burnt anymore because I feel

730
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:23,399
Speaker 1: like it's just rubbing on like cake batter, but deodorant.

731
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:27,399
Speaker 1: But not on, I see, And that's why I don't

732
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:33,399
Speaker 1: wear it because but I actually won't think it's it's

733
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: keeping it in. It's just I do. I feel like

734
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 1: it's just kicked on. You see what it does the

735
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:41,799
Speaker 1: T shirts. A month ago I tried. I had read

736
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 1: everything about how there's aluminum and mainstream deodorant, so I

737
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 1: went the Whole Food's got one of those non aluminum deodorants,

738
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 1: tried it, and it doesn't work. I mean, so it

739
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:55,399
Speaker 1: doesn't work. How I still sweat when I wear that

740
00:38:55,480 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 1: as compared to using a mainstream deodorant that actually is active.

741
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe that's why I don't wear theodor because I'm

742
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 1: gonna sweat regardless. But I run hot so like and

743
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 1: also during the course of the day, I'm training multiple

744
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 1: four or five hours in the course of a day,

745
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 1: what's the point of having deodor it on. I'm just

746
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 1: gonna take that shirt off, put a dry one on.

747
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: Take that one. And maybe you're just not wearing a

748
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 1: shirt long enough for it to get stinky. Perhaps you

749
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 1: smell like a bear. You don't wear a shirt long

750
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 1: enough for it to take effect. It explores why the

751
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 1: studio smells like onions, right now, or maybe maybe you

752
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 1: shower twice today. You know, you shower in the morning,

753
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 1: you go work out for four hours, and you shower

754
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 1: in the afternoon. You don't need to be you just

755
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 1: have to win laundry match so you can wash all

756
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: those shirts off. Well, what about you on stage? Oh there?

757
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 1: Do you put anything on? You just say whatever, I'm

758
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,720
Speaker 1: gonna sweat anyway. If it depends, depends if I showered

759
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 1: right before the show or not. If I shower right

760
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,359
Speaker 1: before the show, throw my stuff on, then I won't

761
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 1: bother because I won't be wearing the shirt longer than

762
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of hours. So I'm gonna smell,

763
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So it really depends if

764
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 1: I just hopped off the plane, I'm on my way

765
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,360
Speaker 1: to the show, and I'm not I'm not gonna make

766
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 1: it in time, you know what I mean. I've it's

767
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 1: you know times, you know, Yeah, sound like I smell

768
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 1: so well. The other thing I think, I feel like

769
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:12,840
Speaker 1: a lot of the products that have come out for

770
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 1: men are are more tailored towards with a cent on it,

771
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 1: you know, like now it's after shaved or beard grooming

772
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 1: oils and all this type of stuff where and that's

773
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 1: kind of come more mainstream instead of instead of deodor

774
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: Back in the day, it was it was deodorant, and

775
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,360
Speaker 1: that's it. Maybe after shave you slap on your face,

776
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:32,839
Speaker 1: but now it's okay, it's it's beard oil or it's

777
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 1: after shave lotion. That's a lot of products. There's a

778
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 1: lot of things out there that are hair goop or

779
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it. And so you don't

780
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 1: need it because you already smell good. So technically, here's

781
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 1: a question for you guys, and also for our listeners,

782

00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:09,799
Speaker 1: A second, if anybody's count because everybody has toothpaste, so

00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 1: you use something for a long time, your body adapts

806
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 1: to it and you gotta switch it up. He's a

816
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: You know, don't call me crazy theorists over here, but

817
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 1: you know, you get out of the shower, what happens. Uh,

818
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 1: don't tell us what happened? Air dry? Okay, I'm kidding.

819
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 1: I Uh what do I do? I mean, I have

820
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 1: a few products. I use a I like a what

821
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:01,360
Speaker 1: do you call that powder? That's really baby powder, gold bond, No, no,

822
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:03,840
Speaker 1: not that stuff. They say that's really bad for you.

823
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 1: By the way, like even if it's a hot day,

824
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 1: don't don't sprinkle, So you know they have I wish

825
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 1: you guys could have seen the motion he said. He

826
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 1: said don't sprinkle, He actually sprinkled. He never mind sprinkling.

827
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:20,319
Speaker 1: I did a little bit. So you know what what's

828
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:24,880
Speaker 1: that stuff called? It's got the like the little exfoliating

829
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 1: stuff in my face like a couple of times a

830
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,280
Speaker 1: week after the showers, in the show, in the shower,

831
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: in the serat my face last. Maybe that's would be

832
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,400
Speaker 1: most open. Is that why? I agree? You watched the

833
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 1: face last. I gotta wash your face last, because you

834
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:43,920
Speaker 1: don't want the shampoo. If the shampoo gets on the face,

835
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:47,320
Speaker 1: then it's contamidating. You always watched that's right. I feel

836
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,800
Speaker 1: that you feel like Ryan would be the most educated

837
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:52,320
Speaker 1: one in this time. He probably would be that you

838
00:43:52,480 --> 00:44:00,080
Speaker 1: looked like you'd have your doctorate in particular subject it

839
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 1: for beauty problem. I don't know, Brian, why don't you

840
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 1: explain to the guys that when I asked you about

841
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 1: your hair that you said after you wash it. I

842
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 1: sent you the lines from American Psychopatrick Bateman flat and

843
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 1: fluffy sho I said to Ryan, how often do you

844
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:18,279
Speaker 1: wash your hair? And he said I only liked to

845
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,839
Speaker 1: once a week because it gets flat and fluffy, and

846
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 1: no woman listening understands what. I started washing my hair

847
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 1: more because my wife said that my pillowcase stunk and

848
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:32,399
Speaker 1: I had to wash my hair more. Yeah, we do.

849
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:34,359
Speaker 1: But like so, I've now up to it to like

850
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 1: every other day recently, and it's we're working it out.

851
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 1: I know that to have your hair like you like,

852
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:42,759
Speaker 1: beach hair, that's what I want. Beach hair. You come

853
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:46,359
Speaker 1: out of the right now. I tried a my time

854
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:50,439
Speaker 1: the ocean salt spray that dry bar. Maikes tried that.

855
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:52,440
Speaker 1: That gives a little bit of a texture to it.

856
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 1: It looks good right now. What you need to do

857
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 1: is you need to put one of these hay body

858
00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 1: dot com bars behind your pill and you don't have

859
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 1: to wash. So are you gonna try this bar in

860
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:06,319
Speaker 1: your hair or you got your thing dialed in where

861
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:08,839
Speaker 1: you're like, I'm liking my hair, I'm willing to give

862
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 1: it a shot. I have. I have a routine when

863
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 1: I get out of the shower, though, that is a

864
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 1: very standard routine, and let's involved. It involves the face lotion,

865
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 1: and involves the hair product which is a paste, and

866
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 1: involves some under eye cream because I have dark circles

867
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 1: under my eyes like a raccoon. I gotta get that going.

868
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:30,760
Speaker 1: Then we do a cocoa butter on the body. Cocoa

869
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:33,319
Speaker 1: butter is where it's at. If you have not tried it,

870
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 1: you're not so let me ask you a question. This

871
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 1: is a weird question. Ears. What do you wash your

872
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:48,400
Speaker 1: ears with a body soap, face soap or the shampoo?

873
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:50,400
Speaker 1: I don't think I washed my ears at all. Are

874
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 1: they all not the same? I don't know? I mean,

875
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 1: is this just because I was in locker rooms the

876
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 1: whole my whole life, where they just put something in

877
00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:58,919
Speaker 1: the middle of the shower and you just check into

878
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 1: your hand and you use it for anything. Well, let

879
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 1: me ask you this. Playing a professional sports so in

880
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:06,960
Speaker 1: college we if a room in my teammate dropped the

881
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 1: soap in the shower, you got behind him rally. Sometimes,

882
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 1: I mean we we had this. This ultimate philosophical debate

883
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 1: was if he dropped the soap in the shower. He said,

884
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 1: the soap is filthy, and he would throw it out,

885
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:24,759
Speaker 1: And I said, soap is the epitome of clean. You

886
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 1: washed the top layer off and you can use it again.

887
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 1: What do you think that that you lost me? That

888
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 1: is more than I would just pick it up and

889
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 1: use it. Can you tell me what epitome means? We

890
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 1: got our producer Danielle here, who's going to ask a

891
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:44,920
Speaker 1: question and the gentlemen are going to do their finest

892
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 1: to answer it. So it's not really a question, but

893
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:51,239
Speaker 1: more of a struggle I have with you guys. Um.

894
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 1: So I'm married. I've been married for all of six months. Um. However,

895
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:59,760
Speaker 1: one thing I have found to be a common thread

896
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:03,880
Speaker 1: in all relationships I've ever had is that guys automatically

897
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:07,400
Speaker 1: resort to girls being crazy. That's what they say, and

898
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 1: the word crazy makes girls crazy crazy Already that we've

899
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:17,240
Speaker 1: tapped into the point, and it's like, why can't guys

900
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:22,680
Speaker 1: just stop saying the word crazy? Wow? I think who?

901
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 1: I think? I think it's because you, as we know,

902
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 1: women act differently than men, so to us, that's not

903
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 1: the natural instinct to act like that, So to us,

904
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:35,279
Speaker 1: that's crazy. So I think when we say stop acting crazy,

905
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:37,319
Speaker 1: it's like we don't understand it. And I think when

906
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 1: when you don't understand something, you that the easiest thing

907
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 1: to do is to to you know, kind of push

908
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 1: it away or make it seem like something that's not normal.

909
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:47,400
Speaker 1: Because if we say that seems like a normal thing

910
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 1: that you're doing, Danielle's keep you know, I understand that

911
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:52,319
Speaker 1: you're acting very normal, then that's calling myself crazy and

912
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 1: I'm not going to do that. So I think, can

913
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 1: I expound on that little place? I think also there's

914
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:01,360
Speaker 1: this other element where we say crazy, because I think

915
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:04,360
Speaker 1: guys approach saying from what we we view as a

916
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:08,800
Speaker 1: logical standpoint, and you're trying, we're trying to bring logic

917
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:14,080
Speaker 1: to sometimes an illogical perspective in our opinion, and so

918
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:18,760
Speaker 1: sort of like sometimes we feel like you're just looking

919
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:21,440
Speaker 1: to have an altercation because there's some things that we

920
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 1: can't even we can't even fix you, or that we

921
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:27,320
Speaker 1: have nothing to do with. There just be something random

922
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 1: and we try to address it, and then you sort

923
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:32,719
Speaker 1: of turned it into it's our fault that something else

924
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:34,759
Speaker 1: is happening, and then we're just sort of like, all right,

925
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:37,160
Speaker 1: you're just crazy. I got to go for a walk.

926
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:39,279
Speaker 1: You know. Here, here's the question for you, Daniel, is

927
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 1: it the is the word crazy a bit like a trigger?

928
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:46,360
Speaker 1: Just because one million? What if it was just like wild?

929
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:51,480
Speaker 1: So here's the thing. If you were if a guy

930
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:53,520
Speaker 1: were to come to you and say, you know, I

931
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:56,239
Speaker 1: don't necessarily agree like I. I see it a little

932
00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 1: bit differently. Great, I'm so open to having that conversation.

933
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 1: But when he's you're being crazy, then actually, because it's

934
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:13,200
Speaker 1: just crazy, I don't like that either. At calculator and

935
00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:14,600
Speaker 1: I said, this is what you said, this is what

936
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:17,280
Speaker 1: I said, this is the equation, and your way off base.

937
00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 1: It should turn into this, you'd be totally no, not necessarily,

938
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:24,680
Speaker 1: it's just the certain words that I guess, like you said, Dmitri,

939
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:29,879
Speaker 1: if you're being dismissive, I just wish guys like understood

940
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:33,640
Speaker 1: that woman don't like do you ever feel first of all,

941
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:37,320
Speaker 1: the question in and of itself, I would say, is crazy. Uh,

942
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 1: but do you ever feel as if you are trying

943
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:44,239
Speaker 1: to pick a fight on purpose? Or No? I think

944
00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:46,520
Speaker 1: the guys trying to pick a fight by calling me crazy.

945
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:48,719
Speaker 1: That's the thing. Well, I don't think it starts off

946
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:50,600
Speaker 1: with him just going you're crazy. There was something that

947
00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 1: came that you know, preceded that, and that's it. Maybe

948
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 1: where the crazy life let's go to let go? And

949
00:49:57,560 --> 00:50:00,200
Speaker 1: I was sorry, sorry, yeah, I was curious, Like what

950
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:02,239
Speaker 1: do you want to hear? I just want to have

951
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 1: a conversation instead of being dismissed. I think you hit

952
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 1: the nail on the head with that. I don't think

953
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:09,759
Speaker 1: you're being crazy. It's just this behavior of this act

954
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:12,440
Speaker 1: right now. Maybe you are. Doesn't mean you are a crazy,

955
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:15,440
Speaker 1: but it's also not a negative um like, it's just

956
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:20,320
Speaker 1: a here's what it is. We're emotional, we have feelings.

957
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:24,280
Speaker 1: We show them most of the time. You all don't.

958
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:28,239
Speaker 1: You're just more pragmatic and when you say what you

959
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:32,880
Speaker 1: mean and we're like filled with emotion. So I'm not

960
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 1: the only guy who isn't it doesn't show emotion, but

961
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:38,480
Speaker 1: there are I think it's back to your question, Daniel.

962
00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:41,400
Speaker 1: I think there's trigger words for men too. There's words

963
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:43,600
Speaker 1: that like I think of. I don't know if I

964
00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:46,480
Speaker 1: can say these on air or not, but um, prick

965
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:49,200
Speaker 1: is probably not a word I would like to be

966
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 1: called or well, like if I heard that from my

967
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:55,719
Speaker 1: significant other, I think that would would upset me a

968
00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:57,880
Speaker 1: little bit. So I think there are just words that

969
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:00,960
Speaker 1: for men and women that are trigger. Gavin just wrote

970
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:03,439
Speaker 1: those words down. I think he's planning on using them later.

971
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:05,439
Speaker 1: I'm just kinda like I wrote him on the paper,

972
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:10,480
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna slide him over on the table. No,

973
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:15,720
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, you're a thousand percent right, because um,

974
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 1: just with you know, my husband, he's exactly like you.

975
00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:21,160
Speaker 1: He does not like any of those words, and if

976
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:23,799
Speaker 1: I were to ever say anything like that to him,

977
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:25,719
Speaker 1: he would have an issue with it, and he would

978
00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 1: have a big problem with it. And I guess you know,

979
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:30,560
Speaker 1: guys have their own words, their own trigger words, and

980
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:33,600
Speaker 1: girls have their own as well. And I think I

981
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:35,440
Speaker 1: could speak on behalf a lot of a lot of

982
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:38,480
Speaker 1: women that crazy is one of those words. I will

983
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:40,919
Speaker 1: say this if I go home and get start talking

984
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:42,839
Speaker 1: to my wife and I say, you know, I think

985
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 1: I think you're being illogical. I think this is I

986
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:47,200
Speaker 1: think you're just not understanding that, she will look at

987
00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:50,360
Speaker 1: me and say you're crazy. Because if I if I

988
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:52,040
Speaker 1: try to talk to her, if I trying to talk

989
00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:54,360
Speaker 1: to her like a therapist, She's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

990
00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:58,040
Speaker 1: get out of here. You're the nuts one. So m

991
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:03,319
Speaker 1: way too much emotion. Uh So I think, um, I think, man,

992
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:05,040
Speaker 1: we should probably take a break on that one before

993
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:08,360
Speaker 1: it's because even more heated. Danielle looks Danielle looking at

994
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:09,680
Speaker 1: us like she's as mad at us as she is

995
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:12,040
Speaker 1: at her husband. So it Haaven's crying already. It's I

996
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:18,239
Speaker 1: am such tears. Let's take a break. This is how

997
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:21,920
Speaker 1: men think. And we've covered a bunch of like different

998
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:24,120
Speaker 1: topics today, some funny, some I'm serious, and we're going

999
00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:28,680
Speaker 1: to dive into something um really serious. Ready if there's

1000
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:31,080
Speaker 1: a little cliffhanger for you guys. I don't think anybody

1001
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:32,800
Speaker 1: knows this question, but I want to ask you. And

1002
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:35,320
Speaker 1: the reason I haven't told you anyone or told anyone

1003
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:37,839
Speaker 1: this question is because I want an authentic answer from you.

1004
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:41,319
Speaker 1: Gavin will start with you. Here we go, putting you

1005
00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:44,000
Speaker 1: on the hot seat. Buddy, you can handle it. Okay,

1006
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:47,600
Speaker 1: here we go. What is one thing you are immensely

1007
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:51,799
Speaker 1: excited about in your life? And what is one thing

1008
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:56,399
Speaker 1: you are desperate to change? Good? The real we're going,

1009
00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:59,240
Speaker 1: We're getting in. Hey, we're getting in heavy now. Something

1010
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:04,719
Speaker 1: here more capable adventuring that than me. Okay, what am

1011
00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:08,240
Speaker 1: I excited about? I'm writing a record, So I'm excited

1012
00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:11,439
Speaker 1: about putting out a new record. And uh so that's

1013
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:14,680
Speaker 1: exciting to me. Going on tour this summer, right, Yeah, yeah,

1014
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 1: I'll go on tour, and you know, do what I do.

1015
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:19,759
Speaker 1: You know, I get an opportunity to basically, you know,

1016
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:22,360
Speaker 1: do a hobby for a living. So I'm lucky in

1017
00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:26,400
Speaker 1: that regard. And uh your other question was what I

1018
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:29,719
Speaker 1: want to change? What's something you're desperate to change in

1019
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:34,839
Speaker 1: your life? To change? Man, I don't know, Man, there's

1020
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:37,279
Speaker 1: a lot. There's a lot of little things, you know.

1021
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:41,239
Speaker 1: That's the first one that comes to mind. I need

1022
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:53,520
Speaker 1: to find a dog sitter. Oh for peeling back. I

1023
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 1: feel like I'm really getting another What do I want

1024
00:53:57,160 --> 00:54:00,799
Speaker 1: to change? You don't even have a talk. I don't

1025
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:07,600
Speaker 1: need to know that it sounded profound. I want to Well,

1026
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:10,560
Speaker 1: I want to continue seeing more and not just driving

1027
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:14,520
Speaker 1: driving past things, you know. So, being that I I

1028
00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:18,640
Speaker 1: do so much touring, um, I I feel like I

1029
00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:23,680
Speaker 1: miss a lot along the way. Um and so, I

1030
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:25,879
Speaker 1: mean I was telling some people I knew what I said.

1031
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:27,680
Speaker 1: You know, I had gone by the I had driven

1032
00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:30,560
Speaker 1: by the the Grand Canyon at least a hundred times,

1033
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:33,960
Speaker 1: never seen it, you know. And uh. And so this

1034
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:36,360
Speaker 1: past year, I bought an RV and I and I

1035
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:38,600
Speaker 1: drove out here with my you know, my best buddy,

1036
00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:41,000
Speaker 1: and we, uh We're like, yeah, man, we gotta camp

1037
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:43,000
Speaker 1: out here. He's like, he's like, never been in the

1038
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:45,960
Speaker 1: Grand Cannon. Said now he said, let's go, you know.

1039
00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:48,960
Speaker 1: And then I I did a little bit of road

1040
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:51,440
Speaker 1: trip and you know, in the r V, and I've

1041
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 1: done two trips so far, but I want to do

1042
00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:56,880
Speaker 1: a lot more of that, just because I feel like

1043
00:54:57,480 --> 00:55:00,440
Speaker 1: we really get one go around here. And uh, and

1044
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:02,440
Speaker 1: I don't want to be the old man thinking I

1045
00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:06,080
Speaker 1: wish I would have done more, seen more, taken more risks.

1046
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:08,200
Speaker 1: You know a lot of people they say, oh, you

1047
00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:10,719
Speaker 1: want to have a long life, and all of a

1048

00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:13,920
Speaker 1: want to have a fulfilling life more than I want

1050
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:15,359
Speaker 1: to have a long life. You know. I don't want

1051
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:17,279
Speaker 1: to be the last man standing all my friends. I

1052
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:20,120
Speaker 1: want to have a great time. So it's just how

Speaker 1: the game and you're out. And I've been in New

1058
00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:36,719
Speaker 1: York thirty times. I haven't done anything in this Yeah,

1059
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:38,480
Speaker 1: so I get what you're saying. Have been good for

1060
00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:41,279
Speaker 1: you for recognizing that and then putting an emotion in

1061
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 1: your life to change it. Um, Dmitri brother, was one

1062
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:47,879
Speaker 1: thing you're immensely excited about in your life? And what's

1063
00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:51,680
Speaker 1: one thing you are desperate to change? Hands down, I

1064
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:55,880
Speaker 1: think the one thing I'm excited about is my kids. Um,

1065
00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:57,640
Speaker 1: I come home it doesn't matter what kind of day

1066
00:55:57,680 --> 00:56:00,200
Speaker 1: I had. I walk in the door and the four

1067
00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:02,040
Speaker 1: of them come run and scream and daddy and they

1068
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:04,320
Speaker 1: give me a big hug, and I try and record

1069
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:07,760
Speaker 1: it on my phone sometimes just because it's it's pretty

1070
00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:10,640
Speaker 1: it's a pretty amazing thing. Um, But I end up

1071
00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:13,319
Speaker 1: tossing my phone aside because then I can really you know,

1072
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:15,319
Speaker 1: it sounds maybe silly, but then I can get my

1073
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:18,000
Speaker 1: arms around all four of them. Um, it's it's it's

1074
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:21,239
Speaker 1: pretty amazing. Like sometimes they look up to me for things.

1075
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:23,200
Speaker 1: Sometimes my son, who's six, he'll look at me and

1076
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:24,640
Speaker 1: he'll just kind of wink and give me a thumbs

1077
00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:26,719
Speaker 1: up out of nowhere. And it's like it makes me

1078
00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:29,520
Speaker 1: feel like I'm doing something right because they're looking to

1079
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:33,360
Speaker 1: me for for you know, whatever whatever it is. They

1080
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:36,120
Speaker 1: don't they know that I'm there. And the other the

1081
00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:38,000
Speaker 1: other night, I was sleeping and one of them came in,

1082
00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:40,880
Speaker 1: and you know, I don't get a lot of sleep,

1083
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:42,520
Speaker 1: but it was like one of them came in and

1084
00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:44,160
Speaker 1: woke me up. So the first instant you think is

1085
00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:45,680
Speaker 1: to be like, why are you waking in? What are

1086
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:47,200
Speaker 1: you gonna do? We just do it. One of them

1087
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:49,480
Speaker 1: came in and kind of whispers dad dad. I was

1088
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:51,920
Speaker 1: like yeah, and they said I love you and I

1089
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:54,879
Speaker 1: was like, so, I was like, get back to bed.

1090
00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:58,800
Speaker 1: I'm trying to sleep. Tell me in the morning for

1091
00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:02,239
Speaker 1: crying how loud. Um. So that's definitely something that that

1092
00:57:02,239 --> 00:57:04,920
Speaker 1: that keeps me going every day. UM. Good for you, man,

1093
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:07,040
Speaker 1: that's awesome. So what was the other thing? What? What

1094
00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:09,319
Speaker 1: am I? What's something you're desperate to change, not just

1095
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:11,399
Speaker 1: like something snagg and something you're like, I I need

1096
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:13,880
Speaker 1: to take action on. Something I need to take action on.

1097
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:16,600
Speaker 1: Is I've I've been living in Los Angeles for a

1098
00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:19,640
Speaker 1: long time and I've been working and I feel there

1099
00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:21,840
Speaker 1: there it's it comes to a point sometimes and I

1100
00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:23,680
Speaker 1: think I feel like maybe a lot of people have

1101
00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:27,560
Speaker 1: this this thought, but is this what I like? You know,

1102
00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:29,160
Speaker 1: you you make money, but it costs a lot of

1103
00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:30,880
Speaker 1: money in the sense like sometimes I get that feeling

1104
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:32,320
Speaker 1: where it's like I kind of like to be in

1105
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:34,680
Speaker 1: a small town. I like to maybe not worry so

1106
00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:37,840
Speaker 1: much about making money to to to keep up and

1107
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:39,320
Speaker 1: and it's not like I'm keeping up like I want

1108
00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:40,840
Speaker 1: to have these fancy parties and stuff. I don't do

1109
00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:43,800
Speaker 1: any of that. But you gotta especially having that many kids,

1110
00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:45,520
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta make a lot of money to

1111
00:57:45,560 --> 00:57:47,800
Speaker 1: survive in that town. And and part of me thinks

1112
00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:49,560
Speaker 1: like maybe I should just find a slower paced life.

1113
00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:51,320
Speaker 1: And it's kind of what Gavin said. It's like, I

1114
00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:52,600
Speaker 1: want to I want to make sure I'm not just

1115
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:54,440
Speaker 1: running through life. I want to make sure i'm I'm

1116
00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:57,240
Speaker 1: seeing things and i'm and I'm enjoying things. And I

1117
00:57:57,280 --> 00:57:59,000
Speaker 1: think a lot of the times you you get caught

1118
00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:00,560
Speaker 1: up like I gotta make this, Moe, I gotta pay this,

1119
00:58:00,560 --> 00:58:03,720
Speaker 1: and we gotta do this. And it's like sometimes I

1120
00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 1: think about whether I should just kind of slow it

1121
00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:08,840
Speaker 1: down a little bit, gotcha or dudes, we knock it

1122
00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:11,200
Speaker 1: out of this part, this podcast becomes the best one

1123
00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:12,880
Speaker 1: on I Heart Radio. We make a ton of money,

1124
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:19,920
Speaker 1: that's true. Yeah, and you get deodoran. Yeah, and I'll

1125
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:23,480
Speaker 1: guess out of that. Hey, hey, body is fantastic. By

1126
00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 1: the way, good currently doesn't have any representation in the

1127
00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:32,480
Speaker 1: personal hygiene. He's available there. He is available. Hey, Dmitri,

1128
00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:35,160
Speaker 1: I think we could, you know, find a but I

1129
00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:37,840
Speaker 1: appreciate you sharing, buddy, Thank you for that. Uh Rick,

1130
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:40,400
Speaker 1: my man, what is one thing that you aremensely excited

1131
00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:43,000
Speaker 1: about in your life and what's one thing you are

1132
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:45,840
Speaker 1: desperate to change? You know, I probably have to echo

1133
00:58:45,880 --> 00:58:48,480
Speaker 1: the same sentiments as Dmitri, you know, and and go

1134
00:58:48,560 --> 00:58:50,480
Speaker 1: into the kid realm of things, you know, are My

1135
00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:52,440
Speaker 1: kids are both getting a little bit older, as we

1136
00:58:52,600 --> 00:58:54,800
Speaker 1: discussed on the show about you know, getting into their

1137
00:58:54,800 --> 00:58:57,160
Speaker 1: teenage years and and for me right now, the most

1138
00:58:57,240 --> 00:59:00,840
Speaker 1: important part is guiding them through those important parts of

1139
00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:03,480
Speaker 1: these ages of life, you know, and making sure they're

1140
00:59:03,480 --> 00:59:05,640
Speaker 1: going to make the right decisions when they get older.

1141
00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:09,400
Speaker 1: Uh do we can we control that? No, Um, But

1142
00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:11,919
Speaker 1: to me, it's it's kind of coaching them and being

1143
00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:14,440
Speaker 1: you know, before when they're little and the Ryan's age kids,

1144
00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:17,040
Speaker 1: you know, it's more kind of you know, hands on

1145
00:59:17,080 --> 00:59:19,240
Speaker 1: and you're changing diapers and you're doing whatever. And now

1146
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:22,360
Speaker 1: it's it's become serious things, right, you know, making the

1147
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:25,520
Speaker 1: right decision whether you're going to go do something in

1148
00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:29,520
Speaker 1: a city or decided to take drugs or drink alcohol

1149
00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:31,720
Speaker 1: or what I mean. These are real life things that

1150
00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:34,960
Speaker 1: are coming in play with my son, um or all

1151
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:36,560
Speaker 1: of our kids as they get a little bit older.

1152
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:38,840
Speaker 1: And so I want to make sure that that I'm

1153
00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:41,440
Speaker 1: guiding them down the right path. Um, And that's what's

1154
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:44,920
Speaker 1: important to me. What would I change? Um? Or what

1155
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:47,080
Speaker 1: was the second question? I'm sorry, what's one thing you

1156
00:59:47,120 --> 00:59:51,600
Speaker 1: are desperate to change? Probably want to change my record

1157
00:59:51,680 --> 01:00:00,200
Speaker 1: that I'm I'm starting with Gavin there my song all

1158
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:02,200
Speaker 1: the ones that I wrote had a line right through it,

1159
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:06,240
Speaker 1: and I was asking you what was going on with that?

1160
01:00:06,360 --> 01:00:10,240
Speaker 1: But you didn't have a good answer. Um, what would

1161
01:00:10,280 --> 01:00:12,960
Speaker 1: I change? You know again kind of echoing the same sentiments.

1162
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:14,840
Speaker 1: And I feel like it's kind of maybe our age,

1163
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:17,000
Speaker 1: you know, Dmitri and I when we started talking about

1164
01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:21,000
Speaker 1: this podcast and you know, started you know, collaborating about everything,

1165
01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:22,960
Speaker 1: we really had kind of a bond and we were

1166
01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:24,920
Speaker 1: talking about our kids and our age and what we

1167
01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:27,200
Speaker 1: want to do and whatnot. And I think kind of

1168
01:00:27,240 --> 01:00:29,800
Speaker 1: trying to figure out a way to slow things down.

1169
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:31,960
Speaker 1: You know. It is the grind every day, whether it's

1170
01:00:31,960 --> 01:00:34,680
Speaker 1: at work or travel or whatever. And I love traveling

1171
01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:36,840
Speaker 1: and I do a lot for work and um and

1172
01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:39,000
Speaker 1: I do get times where I cancel it down on it,

1173
01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:42,439
Speaker 1: but a bit. But it's taking your kids fishing, going

1174
01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:44,840
Speaker 1: on a trip, you know, enjoying a baseball tournament in

1175
01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:46,800
Speaker 1: New York City or whatever that is. And that's what

1176
01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:50,520
Speaker 1: I want to try to you know, you know, appreciate. Yeah,

1177
01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:54,000
Speaker 1: thanks for you, Ryan. What's one thing you're imensely excited

1178
01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:57,240
Speaker 1: about and what is one thing you are desperate to change?

1179
01:00:58,320 --> 01:01:01,520
Speaker 1: I am really excited about my upcoming record and my

1180
01:01:01,720 --> 01:01:07,160
Speaker 1: tour as well. Just SA start a band and not

1181
01:01:07,240 --> 01:01:10,680
Speaker 1: tell me where do I buy a T shirts from

1182
01:01:10,720 --> 01:01:17,120
Speaker 1: your merchant? No, you know, I would say, yeah, I

1183
01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:20,800
Speaker 1: have a second kid on the way. And truthfully, you know,

1184
01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:23,560
Speaker 1: my dad was killed when I was younger. I grew

1185
01:01:23,640 --> 01:01:27,320
Speaker 1: up without a father. So having a boy right now

1186
01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:30,640
Speaker 1: and having a second boy along the way is something

1187
01:01:30,680 --> 01:01:33,560
Speaker 1: that I you know, my I was five and a

1188
01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:36,000
Speaker 1: half of my dad was killed, and so it was

1189
01:01:37,320 --> 01:01:39,280
Speaker 1: it was kind of avoid in my life for a

1190
01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:42,080
Speaker 1: lot of my childhood. And so now to be able

1191
01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:44,800
Speaker 1: to be a father to him and to do all

1192
01:01:44,840 --> 01:01:47,320
Speaker 1: the things. And even when you pose the question earlier

1193
01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:49,400
Speaker 1: about you know, the birds and the bees talking you

1194
01:01:49,440 --> 01:01:52,520
Speaker 1: went around asking it was awkward for me because I

1195
01:01:52,560 --> 01:01:55,280
Speaker 1: was hoping you didn't come to me, because I never

1196
01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:58,439
Speaker 1: had the opportunity to even have that conversation. So it's

1197
01:01:58,480 --> 01:02:01,640
Speaker 1: just every moment that I went through my own childhood,

1198
01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:05,640
Speaker 1: I now genuinely cherish those moments that I can have

1199
01:02:05,720 --> 01:02:08,440
Speaker 1: with my son and really look forward to doing the

1200
01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:10,800
Speaker 1: things that I never got to do with my father.

1201
01:02:10,880 --> 01:02:14,600
Speaker 1: So I think that's something that's really genuinely exciting for me.

1202
01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:20,600
Speaker 1: That's yeah, that's powerful. So in terms of something I

1203
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:23,720
Speaker 1: would change, I think, you know, it's a lot of

1204
01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:26,200
Speaker 1: people echoed it already, but it's it's really probably being

1205
01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:30,240
Speaker 1: more present. And when I do come home from work,

1206
01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:32,640
Speaker 1: it's it's I'm with my wife and I'm with my son.

1207

Speaker 1: is not doing things for the photo to put on Instagram.

1210
01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:47,360
Speaker 1: It's like living life, being more present and just enjoying

1211
01:02:47,400 --> 01:02:49,960
Speaker 1: the moments as opposed to feeling like you have to

1212
01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:52,680
Speaker 1: keep up with the jones. Is to Dmitri's point, and

1213
01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:55,640
Speaker 1: this rat race that we all feel like we're living

1214
01:02:55,680 --> 01:02:57,760
Speaker 1: in Instagram life and everyone has to have one up

1215
01:02:57,800 --> 01:03:02,280
Speaker 1: the next person and be more present. Yeah, wow, amazing,

1216

Speaker 1: very heavy. Gavin's crying again, all right now, it's my

1217
01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:12,600
Speaker 1: turn to ask Mr Brooks here. Uh, what's the one

1218
01:03:12,640 --> 01:03:15,480
Speaker 1: thing that you're excited about? I mean, you've you've done

1219
01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:23,440
Speaker 1: all this. Yeah, UM, I am immensely excited about opportunity

1220
01:03:23,560 --> 01:03:27,440
Speaker 1: in my life right now. So coming out of professional sports,

1221
01:03:28,040 --> 01:03:32,360
Speaker 1: played fifteen years professional hockey and now and it's it's

1222
01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:34,720
Speaker 1: what I realize when I got out of it was

1223
01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:37,840
Speaker 1: how suppressive it is on other areas of your life.

1224
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:41,800
Speaker 1: You are so micro focused on winning a Stanley Cup.

1225
01:03:42,120 --> 01:03:45,280
Speaker 1: Your whole life revolves around that. How you eat, sleep, train,

1226
01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:51,040
Speaker 1: your relationship, everything revolves around you winning, and that suppresses

1227
01:03:51,040 --> 01:03:53,520
Speaker 1: a lot of other things in your life. UM, other

1228
01:03:53,560 --> 01:03:56,360
Speaker 1: things you want to do, other projects of service, being

1229
01:03:56,400 --> 01:03:59,480
Speaker 1: able to travel the world, these kinds of things, times

1230
01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:03,040
Speaker 1: with family, and I'm excited about the opportunity that I

1231
01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:07,080
Speaker 1: now have to dedicate time, energy resources to those things. UM,

1232
01:04:07,160 --> 01:04:09,680
Speaker 1: one of them being this podcast. I'm excited for how

1260
01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:39,760
Speaker 1: in my life to be excited about. Um. The one

1261
01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:43,040
Speaker 1: thing that I'd be desperate to change, I would say,

1262
01:05:43,040 --> 01:05:47,920
Speaker 1: would be some bitterness and resentment towards my sport for

1263
01:05:48,040 --> 01:05:52,560
Speaker 1: being done sooner than I figured I would be. UM,

1264
01:05:52,640 --> 01:05:56,080
Speaker 1: some relationships in the sport of some things that happened

1265
01:05:57,040 --> 01:06:00,160
Speaker 1: to me with me, UM, with some people that had

1266
01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:05,280
Speaker 1: some decisions revolving or involving my career. And I'll stick

1268

Speaker 1: few dead before you take anybody down. I'll stick you

1269
01:06:12,720 --> 01:06:15,960
Speaker 1: on him. But also along with that, thirty five years

1270
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:19,360
Speaker 1: of my life was dedicated to professional hockey, to winning

1271
01:06:19,360 --> 01:06:20,919
Speaker 1: a Stanley cupp And so when I got the phone

1272
01:06:20,960 --> 01:06:23,240
Speaker 1: call that said you've been released in your career is over,

1273
01:06:23,840 --> 01:06:28,800
Speaker 1: there's a tremendous a tremendous loss of purpose and you

1274
01:06:28,840 --> 01:06:31,520
Speaker 1: don't just go from doing the thing you love most

1275
01:06:31,560 --> 01:06:35,480
Speaker 1: in the world to now doing something that's okay. So

1276
01:06:35,560 --> 01:06:38,000
Speaker 1: for the last year it's been trying to find something

1277
01:06:38,480 --> 01:06:41,040
Speaker 1: that lights me on fire that I'm like, let's go.

1278
01:06:41,120 --> 01:06:43,200
Speaker 1: I can't wait to do this. Let's go, and I'm

1279
01:06:43,240 --> 01:06:47,080
Speaker 1: finally starting to find that purpose um with open gim

1280
01:06:47,200 --> 01:06:49,400
Speaker 1: um and then also with this podcast. I think it's

1281
01:06:49,440 --> 01:06:51,120
Speaker 1: going to be a large part of that because I

1282
01:06:51,200 --> 01:06:54,440
Speaker 1: really want to do something to serve and impact UM

1283
01:06:54,520 --> 01:06:57,640
